Black M stays at the top of the French singles chart for the third consecutive week with “Sur Ma Route” in his fifth week inside the top 10 (6,900 sales / -3%). Will the song equal next week the four-week reign of another member of Sexion D’Assaut, Maître Gims with “J’Me Tire” (in March and April 2013) ? Place your bets.

Sia is a non-mover at number two with “Chandelier” in her fourth week inside the ten best-sellers (6,300 sales / +7%). There is also no change at three for Pitbull featuring Jennifer Lopez & Cláudia Leitte with “We Are One (Ole Ola)” in their second week in the top 10 (4,700 sales / -6%).

Two songs just don’t want to go out of the top 10 : “Stolen Dance” is back up one place at four for Milky Chance in its 14th week inside the top 10 (4,100 sales / -15%). In his 31st week inside the ten best-selling songs, Pharrell Williams climbs (!) two at number five with “Happy” (4,000 sales / -13%).

“Magic In The Air” gets its peak position this week, as it moves up three places at six for Magic System featuring Chawki in its fifth week in the top 10 (4,000 sales / +5%). It’s down three at number seven for Mr. Probz with “Waves” in his ninth week inside the top 10 (3,900 sales / -19%).

In its second week inside the ten best-sellers, “Wiggle” is up two places at eight for Jason Derulo featuring Snoop Dogg (3,600 sales / =). Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake slip one at number nine with “Love Never Felt So Good” in their seventh week in the top 10 (3,600 sales / -8%). John Legend‘s “All Of Me” falls four places at ten in its seventh week inside the top 10.

“A Sky Full Of Stars” jumps from 19 to number twelve for Coldplay in its eighth week on the chart (2,800 sales / +27%). It’s a good week also for Porcelain Black, “One Woman Army” is up three places at 14 in its fourth week inside the top 200. Chawki has now two songs in the top 20, his own “Time Of Our Lives” climbs a massive 45 places at 15 in its second week on the chart (2,400 sales).

In its second week in the top 200, “Prayer In C (Robin Schulz Remix)” moves up 43 at number 22 for Lilly Wood & The Prick And Robin Schulz. The song is the first top 30 hit for both acts. Calogero jumps from 30 to number 23 with “Un Jour Au Mauvais Endroit” in his fifth week on the chart.

La Bande A Renaudspends a second week at the top of the French albums chart, and it’s quite surprising. The album sold 23,953 copies last week (-56%) for a total of 77,983 in two weeks. It’s surprising because we could expect a lot more sales for Lana Del Rey‘s Ultraviolence, indeed the new LP enters at number two with only 20,333 copies sold. In February 2012, her Born To Die spent its first two weeks at the top with sales of 48,791 in its first week, and 23,888 in its second.

There is no change at the top of the French singles chart, as Black M spends a second week at Number One with “Sur Ma Route” in his fourth week inside the top 10 (7,100 sales / +11%). But there are two big contenders for the top spot, Sia‘s “Chandelier” is up one place at two in its third week inside the ten best-sellers (5,900 sales / +18%). Will the song be Sia‘s first chart-topper ? Stay tuned. In its tenth week on the chart, “We Are One (Ole Ola)” jumps from 16 to number three for Pitbull featuring Jennifer Lopez & Cláudia Leitte (5,000 sales / +127%). If the latter gets her first top 10 hit in France with that song, it’s the eighth for Jennifer Lopez, and the 11th for Pitbull.
